Splash in golden river pools on the Waterfall Trail, starting at Tweede Tol in the wild and wonderful Limietberg Nature Reserve near Wellington.

Short And Sweet

The Waterfall Trail, a two-hour circular route, is a relatively effortless hike that quickly takes you deep into Limietberg Nature Reserve. It gets the blood moving while giving you ample opportunity to swim before draping yourself on hot rocks to dry. As you enter this magic enclave of mountains, rock and fynbos, you seemingly step through a transparent door into a secret world where all worries disappear.
